Dynasty Football Trade Targets and 2019 Gems

It is very quiet on the NFL and fantasy football fronts right now. The biggest waves of free agency have passed, and we are inching closer to the NFL Draft window. Now is a good time to shake things up in a dynasty league. Some other owners may not be actively thinking about deals, and […]

Marshal Yanda Agrees To One-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to an undisclosed one-year contract extension with seven-time Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda on Thursday, according to league sources. Yanda was entering the final season of his current deal, so he'll be locked in through the 2020 season now. Yanda remains one of the best offensive guards in football, and his […]

Ravens To Visit With Josh Jacobs

The Baltimore Ravens are set to visit with Alabama running back Josh Jacobs. The Ravens already have Gus Edwards, Mark Ingram and Kenneth Dixon, but they may not be done adding to their backfield and are fully committed to a run-first approach with Lamar Jackson under center as the franchise signal-caller. Jacobs would obviously have […]

Ravens Sign Seth Roberts

The Baltimore Ravens signed free-agent wide receiver Seth Roberts to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to a source. Baltimore is in serious need of beefing up their receiver corps, and Roberts barely moves the needle alongside Willie Snead, Jordan Lasley, Chris Moore, Quincy Adeboyejo and Jaleel Scott. Roberts had 45 catches for 494 […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Buffalo Bills Outlook

Although the way the season unraveled for the Buffalo Bills, the argument can be made that this a team headed in the right direction. They have likely found their quarterback of the future in Josh Allen, while also sporting a young and improving defense. Just two years removed from a playoff appearance, with just a […]

Ravens Expect Marshal Yanda To Play In 2019

The Baltimore Ravens expect Pro Bowl right guard Marshal Yanda to play in 2019. There had been speculation that Yanda was considering retirement, but the Ravens fully believe he'll be their starting right guard this year. It would be a big blow to the Ravens, an extremely run-first team under new franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson, […]

Ravens To Keep Jimmy Smith

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta all but affirmed that veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith will remain with the team in 2019. "One of the greatest strengths of our team right now is our secondary. I think it would be foolish for us to make a strength a weakness for no reason," DeCosta said. Smith is […]

Willie Snead Currently Baltimore's Top Receiver

The Baltimore Ravens didn't address their wide receiver position in free agency, meaning Willie Snead and Chris Moore, who combined for two touchdowns last year, are currently at the top of the receiver depth chart. Jordan Lasley (inactive all year), Jaleel Scott (coming off Injured Reserve) and Quincy Adeboyejo (coming off IR) round out the […]

Ravens Re-Sign Backup Robert Griffin III

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed backup quarterback Robert Griffin III on Thursday to an undisclosed two-year deal. The 29-year-old will continue to back up starter Lamar Jackson in 2019. The former first-round pick can be an invaluable source for Jackson as he matures heading into his second season, but RG3 will continue to have no fantasy […]

Under-the-Radar Free Agent RB Signings - Risers and Fallers

Free agency is in full swing and there's been a lot of movement among the league's big names. Odell Beckham was traded. Antonio Brown was traded. Le'Veon Bell signed with the Jets.

Haloti Ngata Announces Retirement

Long-time defensive lineman Haloti Ngata announced his retirement on Instagram on Monday. The 35-year-old played for the Eagles in 2018 after three years with the Lions. He'll mostly be remembered for his days on a dominant Baltimore Ravens defense. Ngata was a first-round pick in 2006 and was named to five Pro Bowls, two first-team […]

Air Yards Analysis - Using the Statistic to Find Value at WR

Air yards: a simple term in itself but for fantasy football what is the significance? In essence, air yards is a cumulative total of a player's depth of target. It only includes yards traveled from the time the QB releases it up to the moment the ball is either dropped or caught by the receiver. […]

Ravens Reach Deal With Mark Ingram

The Baltimore Ravens reached a three-year, $15 million deal with free-agent running back Mark Ingram on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 29-year-old former first-rounder spent eight years with the Saints and comes to a Ravens squad that will lean on the run again heavily in 2019. Gus Edwards and Ingram will form […]

The Baltimore Ravens will sign free-agent safety Earl Thomas to a four-year, $55 million deal on Wednesday, a source informed of the deal told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed and averages $14.33 million over the first three years. Thomas, who will be 30 in May, played in only four games […]

Bills To Sign John Brown, Cole Beasley

Rookie Running Back Sleepers and Dynasty Targets

With the NFL Combine over and done with, we have a pretty good idea of the landscape of this upcoming draft class.

Weddle started all 48 games and had […]

Tight End Dynasty Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

2018 was probably the best year for tight ends in the history of fantasy football. Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz set the NFL single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 116, while San Francisco’s George Kittle set the single-season record for receiving yards for a tight end with 1,377. What’s crazy is that neither of […]

Dynasty Takeaways from the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine

The skill position players have wrapped up their workouts at the NFL Combine and now it's time for us in the fantasy football world to overthink what that actually means.

Gus Edwards - Rookie Recap / Dynasty Outlook

Before the start of the 2018 Baltimore Ravens season the hot name in the backfield was Alex Collins. Halfway through the season, the hot name was Kenneth Dixon. By the end of the season, it was Gus Edwards. Gus the Bus, as he is known, the 6’1 238-pound rookie made his mark in the latter […]

Ravens Waive Alex Collins

The Baltimore Ravens have waived running back Alex Collins. Collins was arrested on Friday morning after being involved in a car accident, which appeared to be the last straw for Baltimore. Collins saw his snaps fall off during the 2018 season with the emergence of running backs Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon, so his place […]
